FOOD AND DRINK INNOVATION AND SKILLS HUB
ABOUT
Shaping the Future of Food and Drink Manufacturing Skills in West London
The food and drink manufacturing sector in West London is undergoing major change, driven by exciting new technologies, regulations, and shifting consumer demands.
To stay ahead, the industry must invest in talent development through modular learning, Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs), the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE), and expanded Apprenticeship programs. By fostering collaboration between education and industry, we can build a skilled, innovative and diverse workforce able to make the most of the exciting range of careers available in this cutting-edge sector.
Investing in these programmes, employability skills, and careers will significantly contribute to the growth and success of this thriving industry in the region.
To respond to this rapidly changing industry, we have teamed up with outstanding and ambitious local organisations to create the West London Food and Drink Innovation and Skills Hub (launching in June 2025).
